The Broward Sheriff's Office said Wednesday that marine patrol Deputy James "Brad" Lemieux spotted what appeared to be a burlap bag about a mile offshore on Sunday. Inside the bag were 25 individually wrapped, 1-kilogram bricks of what field tests confirmed was cocaine.

The cocaine is being turned over to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. It wasn't immediately clear how the bag of cocaine got there and no one has been arrested.
